holding it together

tonight's one night stand challenge: advertising photography.

and this is why i never got into the advertising industry. not creative enough. i had a friend back in the old country who was so damn good coming up with slogans, doing the sketches for layouts, etc. she can sell anything. can't sing though nor was she musically inclined and sometimes she gets frustrated because she could not translate to others the tune in her head, the tune coming out of her though sounded like a bullfrog's.

so i thought i'd shoot this in manual focus for the camera settings challenge. here's the link: http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/15659/camera-settings-challenge-19-manual-focus

and the paperclip as advert product for the mundane-paperclip challenge. here's the link: http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/15748/mundane-challenge-7

and if you want to engage in one night stand, here's the link: http://365project.org/discuss/general/15687/one-night-stand-again

and that makes it a three-fer! too bad, though, if today was the 11th, the 'word list' challenge would have been "sales" or "shop" i could've hit a grand salami!

and just to let you know, i borrowed the paper clips from my office and i am returning them tomorrow. i don't use paperclips at home nor do i have a use for them so they will be promptly returned.

thank you for your kind visits and comments; i truly appreciate them.
Well I love your slogan! I think that you did a fine job. I'm impressed with getting 3 challenges in one shot - kudos to you!

@tara11 - well, thank you, my dear tara. i'm looking at the competition pages to see if i can do a grand slam with this. :-)

I like the slogan. At least you were willing to give it try

@tara11 - hahaha! if today was the 11th, the 'word list' challenge would have been "sales" or "shop" i could've had a grand salami!

You are an efficient 365-er today! Wow! Good for you! I use these paper clips! I guess our school has a contract to get this kind....I think this is very professional looking! :))

@espyetta - ah, MB. you flatter me so! thank you so much.

@summerfield nah., and btw...I love the paper clip on its side, all alone, in the middle of the paper pile! Did you place it there on purpose, or just you toss the lot on there and it landed there? ;0)

@espyetta - i put it there, by mistake because i was trying to fix my lamp, then i forgot about it so when i uploaded i was quite pissed and was about to re-shoot when i thought, well, i think it works. and if it works for you, my product advertisement is a success! success!!!!! :-D

It gives it a touch of reality and authenticity!
January 10th, 2013  
your ideas are amazing
January 10th, 2013  
I think the lone paper clip in the middle is just brilliant, for me it gives the shot that something extra! Great idea.
January 10th, 2013  
I love it! Fun shot!
January 10th, 2013  
nice
January 10th, 2013  
Well I guess we all have our different strengths and talents!!
January 10th, 2013  
Cute,

January 10th, 2013  
@espyetta - yeah, complete with bad lighting. i now see the shadows of the clips on the papers. hehehe!

@sarasdadandmom - thank you, terry!

@orangecrush - thank you, jerry.

@abhijit - thank you, ab.

@quietpurplehaze - indeed! thank you, hazel.

@fullcircle - thank you, cindy. i was wondering what happened to you. i just looked at your album and you did some nice shots for your push. however, you didn't tag me in the comments so i didn't know what you were up to. also, i was looking for your posts in the Get-Pushed-2013-01 tags but i couldn't find you. can you please edit your tags to that to make sure your entries are there. thanks again.

hah! awesome to catch a 3-fer...
January 11th, 2013  
I can imagine all the fun while setting-up for this shot. =)
January 11th, 2013  
It's always an extra bonus to get more than one challenge in a single shot- good job. I too was wondering about the lone paper clip. Why was it left out? Will it be able to hang on? Was this a paper clip that failed the DNA test of the other paper clip shot? Stay tuned...
January 11th, 2013  
very clever!!
January 13th, 2013  
love this shot...
